by Roz Roberts III

If you missed In Play with Jimmy Roberts last night, fear not!  Here is the feature on Michael's trip in full along with some additional clips.  Enjoy!



Hear from PGA golfers Hunter Mahan and Michael Thompson, along with instructor Sean Foley from their golf clinic for Peace Players International in Israel.



Tim Rosaforte sits down behind the scenes and talks about the Israel trip's impact on Hunter Mahan, Michael Thompson and Sean Foley.




Here is the whole feature on the trip:

With only one golf course in the entire country, Israel is not the first destination viewers would expect to find Hunter Mahan, Amy Alcott and Michael Thompson. But all attended a pilgrimage there to support a growing youth support system bringing Palestinian and Israeli kids together through sport. Joined by coach Sean Foley, the golfers couldn’t know that what started as a youth clinic and an incredible excursion throughout Israel would become center of world events in an all-too-familiar story - Middle East hostilities.

Tonight's episode of In Play with Jimmy Roberts on the Golf Channel will have a story on the trip Michael Thompson and his wife Rachel took to Israel last year during their off-season.  You may remember that they traveled with a group of professional athletes including Hunter Mahan, Sean Foley, and Amy Alcott to help promote golf in a country with only one golf course and dialog between Israeli and Palestinian children.  Unfortunately, rocket attacks cut the trip short.

In Play will air at 10:30pm ET on the Golf Channel.
